That's true, even though I'm not a business. Would it be more cost effective to do a DO droplet? (haven't tried it personally yet).

- zrail 5y agoAt least where I am, the business class internet that I have access to doesn't come with static IPs and is approximately three times as expensive as residential for the same service level.
- willjp 5y agoYou can tunnel wireguard from a local server to a cheapie DO droplet for about 5$ USD/mo. Only one ipv4 pre dropte though. I read a blogpost that mentioned a free tier cloudflare service for public ips, but have not investigated.
- jethro_tell 5y agoyes, a VPS would absolutely be cheaper. Even if you get the port unblocked, you're still not going to be able to set reverse DNS for spf records unless you have a business connection with static IPs. An IP alone will probably cost you the same as a VPS that will run a tunnel back you your home box. In my experience, a business connection is usually twice the price and half the bandwidth.
- jaytaylor 5y agoActually I just remembered, I can probably use my free Oracle OCI VM, not sure if they'd set up reverse DNS, though. Will have to file a ticket or search about it to learn more. Disclaimer: Currently I work there, and it's true anyone can get a free VM "forever" (I've had one for 4 years).
- chayleaf 5y agoyou need to have a "paid" account to open a support ticket, but it's still very much free also, newer accounts (from June I think) have port 25 closed by default, you need to open a ticket for that too
